dpkg-source: unexpected object

["Christian T. Steigies" <cts@debian.org>]

Hi, 
I have a little problem with dpkg-source (or tar?), was there a change
recently?

dpkg-source -x hp2xx_3.4.0-2.dsc 
dpkg-source: error: tarfile `./hp2xx_3.4.0.orig.tar.gz' contains unexpected object listed by tar as `drwxr-xr-x mk/users          0 2001-02-08 14:30:12 hp2xx-3.4.0/'; expected `hp2xx-3.4.0/'

apt-get source ftpgrab

Unpack command 'dpkg-source -x ftpgrab_0.1.2r-2.dsc' failed.
E: Child process failed

ii  tar            1.13.19-1
ii  dpkg-dev       1.9.11

I can not unpack my own packages anymore... where is the bug, in
dpkg-source, in tar, or in my box?

Christian
